Question

How do I remove the smell Of mold and mildew from ABC mats and puzzle rugs?

Community Answer

You need to replace them immediately because this is very dangerous to the children. You need to dispose of them properly and buy new ones. If you cannot buy new ones, then just hold off for a bit, but whatever you do, throw those mats away immediately to keep the children safe.

If, for example, you have a toy duck with a hole in the bottom when it is brand new fill the hole with super glue (or fill the hole straight after you have cleaned it thoroughly). Hopefully you won't need to throw out any toys again and you'll save tons of time.
